The NOPD is asking for the public's help in finding Shanice Maloid, 15. She was last seen at her residence on March 5 around 8 p.m. Two hours later, Shanice's mother noticed Shanice and her vehicle were missing; her mother also found a suicide note. Shanice has a history of depression. Her mother states that the note was an attention-seeking gesture. Shanice is a habitual runaway.

The vehicle missing from the residence is a bronze 2012 4-door Nissan Altima with LA Plate #: YMG662.

For a parent to say that their child threatens suicide just for attention makes me mad. It sounds like she needed more than attention - she needed HELP. This young lady didn't know how to drive but could very well have taken her mothers car. I cannot imagine what her mother is going through and it appears this young lady and the vehicle are still missing.
